Any media projector, higher lumens the better. Can connect DVD or Bluray player depending on your projector.

You can project from the front or back on this screen. You will need some form of a cable connected projector. We went with the HD View Sonic projector. Screen works very well. Easy setup, tear down etc. I have it up in 10-15 MPH winds without any issues if you use the anchor lines. External/outside sound is something you need to consider. I bought a soundbar and it works great. I did not have any luck with blue tooth or wireless speakers. I'm probably not tech savvy enough!

This is a rear projection screen where the projector, DVD etc is behind the screen. Any type of projection system will work with the screen.

I guess my question is: will this blue-ray player, play regular dvds, as well as others? I'm not that big into the movie scene, but it would be nice to watch my reuglar dvds, in HD quality. I do have an 1080p HDTV with all the works if that helps...please...I don't need a top of the line, just a decent blue-ray player..thanks! Note: I don't do streaming & special downlaods for movies, I just need something simple to use, yet that is good quality. I'm not a techno-person!

we use it for outside movie night. not mounting. the sound from speak is fine for 4 people sitting next to the projector. if someone is talking you need a speaker. fan is whisper quite. absolutely love this thing!

I just watch movies on mine...either DVDs or streaming Netflix through the Wii. However, I've read that others watch TV through theirs with success. I would suggest that you read the reviews on Amazon for the MM72..there are a lot...and you can learn how to set it up for programming. It's a great projector and very easy to use and I'd definitely buy it again. It's gives an amazing picture and is worth every penny! Also, if I was buying one now I'd look into the newer MM85, although not sure of the price difference.

I would recommend you buy a digital video projector like an Epson. They are way brighter and work much better for art projects than this one.

Honestly I would pick another projector. It works very well...the only reason why I would say pick another one is because the room has to be very dark in order to see the image projected. Any light makes it hard to see the image. If projected in daylight, don't even bother with this one because you will never see the image.

Dunskis: the answer to your question is yes! This projector has an hdmi port and Pb/Cb connection. Most modern DVD players have both or either of these connections to match. You will want to purchase a separate audio system, though! The built in speaker in the projector is worthless, especially for outdoors. Keep in mind this project is not weather proof, though, so it will need to be stored inside. Good luck! -stefan

Maybe... you are right. Any way 80 ANSI (Is it ture? I don't kow) not enogh to use the projector at day. I can be used for only night.

That's how I have mine hooked up. They give you a DVI to HDMI adapter to output to a HD, HDMI-capable projector. It works great! Additionally, you can hook your DVD player to the unit and the signal will pass through to the projector with HD.

Just a follow up thought. I don't k ow what projector you have but it must have plugs on the unit where you plug the lawn lights directly into the projector. You can also buy a simple string of any cheap Xmas lights and try that first. If they blink with the music then the lawn light should as well.

Do you guys use this projector for TV as well, or just DVDs? I am looking for a good projector that will do well for watching football games, etc through satellite, cable, etc.

Absolutely. It works even better at night in my opinion. And if your projector doesn't have good speakers, I recommend a sound bar. I bought a Visio brand one for less than 80 dollars that works perfectly.

this should do just fine out doors. You will need to wait for late evening for it to be dark enough, and I have found ambient light to not effect the over all projection quality too much. So porch lights and landscape lighting shouldn't be a problem. You will likely need a separate sound system, unless you have a quiet group of people watching. I would take precautions to be sure it won't be exposed to rain or pool splashes though, there is a lens adjustor and buttons on top of the projector.

Hi there, sorry late response. This projector is very good, for presentations as well. However it's not strong enough to work with daylight, just closing curtains is not enough, it has to be really dark. In the evenings it works perfectly, even with lights on!!! I mainly use it to watch movies in the evenings, perfect! Especially the big screen, love it!

Yes! its Great for projecting movies, that's the reason i bought it in the first place, I projected it on a wall at a friends yard and it looked great thank even though no screen wad used, lights off of course, I don't regret buying this projector at all! :) hope this helps.

well, I will definitely recommend this projector for indoor use as I have it in my basement. I am sure you will be OK outdoors also and especially when it is dark. Its contrast is awesome and the picture quality is just great. one thing to note is that it does not have built in speakers. you will have to have a speaker if you want to use it outdoors. hope this helps.
